Since they were sitting at the same table, their colleagues introduced them to each other.
Coralie found out that the man that Alison was with was Harrison Davis. He was one of the managers in the sales department. His sales performance was good in the company and he received quite a lot of bonuses every year.
"Mr. Davis, what are you going to buy for your wife using this year-end-bonus?" A colleague, who was sitting there, asked, "Every year, you buy something nice for her. Why don't you share your plans with us?"
Coralie didn't say a word. She didn't know what kind of impression the people in the company had of Harrison.
Listening to his colleague's question, it was likely that he gave people the impression of being a good husband.
"I'm not going to give her a gift this year," Harrison said with a smile.
Upon hearing his answer, his colleagues burst into an uproar. "Not going to give her a gift? Why?"
"My wife has been thinking of going to the Maldives. I was busy with work before, so I plan to take her there this year." Harrison paused and said, "She also worked hard for our family. I checked it online, the best time to visit the Maldives is from November till February. I will take her there on February 14th."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the colleagues on the table exclaimed, "Wow!"
Everyone except for Coralie and Felicia displayed envious and jealous expressions.
"Your wife is fortunate to have married you, Mr. Davis. You are such a good man!"
"Yes! Please, God, give me a man like Mr. Davis!"
"Mr. Davis, why don't you repeat what you said just now? I'll record it for my husband and let him learn from you."
All the female colleagues sitting at their table were envious when they heard Harrison's words just now.
Only Coralie and Felicia chuckled.
Coralie felt an inexplicable sense of disgust after hearing his words, as if she had eaten something awful.
Just now, he had accompanied Alison to pick out jewelry and performed such lewd acts with her in the nursing room. Now, he was the perfect man?
Harrison enjoyed the praises and the attention of the people around him. However, when he turned around, he noticed Coralie and Felicia sitting next to him. Both of them were expressionless.
"This is..."
Harrison pointed at Coralie and asked.
In fact, none of them recognized Coralie because she was new to the company.
"Her name is Coralie Chariott, a new member of our finance department."
Felicia helped to introduce her.
"Oh, nice to meet you."
Harrison stood up, grabbed his tie with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to shake Coralie's hand.
"Hello."
Coralie reached out and shook hands with him, but this time, when she shook his hands...
She clearly felt that he scratched her palm with his index finger.
Coralie knew a little about this. She had heard from Xenia, that a man wanted s*x if he scratched a woman's palm with his finger when shaking hands.
Looking at him, with his image of a good husband, and thinking about what had happened between him and Alison, was he thinking...
Coralie felt that she couldn't stay for another minute at this banquet.
At this moment, a tall figure came over to their table, pointed to the handbag next to Coralie and asked, "Is there anyone sitting here? Can I sit here?"
"Boss, President Holland!"
